Finally! Back to the shite! When Cricinfo says you are "an allrounder who can count himself fortunate to have had a prolonged run in the Kenyan side without ever coming up with the goods", you know you're bad.

Reynold Aravinda has company. Dastur did the same thing in 1943.

Somehow he got an international cap despite averaging 49/31/22 with the ball across the three formats. Somehow his first ODI delivery was a wicket of Jason Roy (it helped England were already four down). The next (and last) 23 went for 40 as Bairstow practiced Bazball seven years early.

For a second I thought this was another meme nomination - the 14yo Test batsman - but then I figured out this was the spinner. The one that took, uh... am I allowed to say it on this forum? Let's say it sounds similar to a famous soda brand.

I gotta go have dinner, rest of round afterwards

You're allowed to say that Raza Hadan ingested copious amounts of Alex Hales Party Powder. Or you could specify cocaine.

Colombian marching powder or nose beers are also acceptable terms

Tage is still developing, but he's pretty clearly going to be a Windies opener for a long time if his fundamentals are anything to go by. Another good outcome.

I nominated Ntini last time so someone gave me Chanderpaul

Round 10
It's been a while...

Mudassar Nazar is the clear pick here. Not the biggest name, but a useful utility allrounder.

@Supreme General
1693615206043.png
Shaun Pollock might be the best player here, but Supreme needed a batsman, so despite his hatred of him Ponting it is

@Bevab tbd

Andre Russell comes in as an all-rounder. Procter did note that he'd have picked Jack Russell if he had space.

@Aislabie

Ian Bell joins Ollie Pope in the same squad. Interesting.

@CerealKiller

Cam Green is a great pickup for Round 10. He'll provide value with bat and ball.

@Till Valhalla

TV doesn't get his keeper, so instead Tom Graveney comes in to fill the opener role.

@Disharies
1693615834832.png
Suryakumar Yadav is the pick. That probably bumps Sanwar Hossain to opener

@Paranoid Kendroid
1693615964395.png
Najibullah was the pick here. I should note for Kendroid: this draft is busted enough that I don't think Manmohan Singh keeping is gonna make much difference

Yashasvi Jaiswal joins a long list of openers to be picked this round

@Neo 7
1693616093468.png
This is the exception that makes the norm. Kuldeep Yadav is a specialist spinner; that said, this is entirely bowlers, so he's the smart pick. Big spinning attack here

Andrew Puttick. I am so sorry.

@Yash.

Harold larwood brings some speed and fire to the bowling attack.

Please submit your Round 11 nomination ASAP.
